We tested Bluecat, Infoblox, Solarwinds and EfficientIP solutions. In the end we went with EfficentIP for our IPAM solution. We don't run their DNS servers but do use their DHCP package on our own servers.
When we reviewed the major players EfficientIP had the most versatility in how one could run and setup their products. We still run our own DNS servers using BIND. Our DNS servers get their zone files from our EfficientIP server. EfficientIP offer hardware, VMs and packages for DNS and DHCP. We chose to only use their IPAM VM server and DHCP package. This is partially to keep from being reliant on a single vendor. EfficientIP offers a lot of customization, be it you modifying things or paying them to create them for you. We have done both. They are using ISC BIND and DHCP under the hood. In the case of DHCP they are running their own branch of DHCP to leverage some features they wanted that ISC didn't provide. The biggest being they can HUP DHCP instead of restarting it when a config change it made. DNS is still standard BIND as far as I am aware. We are very happy with EfficientIP and wouldn't hesitate recommending them. -- NM _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
